The items, thought to be valuable Asian dress jewellery, were recovered after police in Farnworth, Bolton, arrested a 39-year-old man on suspicion of handling stolen property. The pieces were found in a small purple jewellery box.

The man was released on police bail pending further investigations.

Sgt Richard Evans said: "This jewellery obviously looks like it only gets worn on special occasions and must be of great personal value.

"There is a chance the victim may not even know the jewellery has gone, as the burglar could have sneaked in to the house during the recent hot weather.

"If anyone recognises the jewellery pictured and can provide proof that they own it, they should call us."
